Playhouse Disney Triple Pack

Teaching children up to the age of six the basics of numbers, letters and colours is all about making it fun and exciting for them, and the Playhouse Disney Triple Pack combines three titles that do just that.

There is a common theme that links all three: in Rolie Polie Olie, you have to find Olie's dog Spot, in Stanley Tiger Tales it's about finding Stanley's tiger swim suit so he can go to the beach, while in The Book of Pooh - A Story with a Tail, Eeyore has lost his tail.

Stanley Tiger Tales doesn't just teach basic maths, science and language skills, it also places a strong emphasis on conservation, helping children to foster an appreciation and respect for nature through fun and informative exercises.

Rolie Polie Olie is a little more quirky, but still has strong educational aspects woven into the gameplay as you help Olie search the house for his lost dog. The only concern with these two titles is that the American accents and language may be hard for youngsters to understand.
